leathers?

[Adrenalinechic]

I just picked up a 2 piece alpinestars stella suit...grabbed a size larger than i wear in jeans. The pants fit just like jeans do, really tight on my ghetto booty and the jacket comfortably snug. How much room do you usually leave to still stay safe but able to move? I'm weary that a spine protector won't fit in my jacket but it's not like i can try on another size. It's return this one and get another and im stuck with it regardless. Pretend you have an ass since most men don't, and let me know what you think!

My stuff is pretty tight. As long as you can get into your riding position and not be uncomfortable then youre good. Riding leathers arent exactly made for taking a stroll around the park or to go out clubbing in Youre better off with tight stuff then lose stuff so it doesnt bind or shift on you in the event of a get off.

Oh and just to add. I have a two piece suit but I had to get the pants custom made since nothing off the shelf fits me.

It should be tight and uncomfortable when standing and good while on the bike in propper riding possition.

Pretend you have junk in your crotch because most girls don't, if you stand up straight and it would be crushed, you've got the right size.

I got myself two sets ... one that is tight and perforated for summer.
And the other is one size larger for solid leather pants and jacket that I
use when it is below 40F - 50F.

I can wear my street clothes under the larger leathers to the office.
Pretty sweet setup. Just took a lot of online sales shopping.

Karaya's store had the last items I needed with a great price.

Its leather, it stretches. If its "close" to begin with, keep in mind its going to break in and stretch where it needs to stretch. Obviously not inches and feet, but if its "close", then chances are its going to be fine.

leather should be snug to tight because if you go down and have enough extra to make it fold up or wrinkle the leathers abrasion resistance (cycles till failure) is cut in half

besides around hear we're sick of only seeing guys in tight leathers, so a girl in tight leathers would do us all some good
